Recipe Instructions

Any good preserving pear may be used.

Slice and remove core or pickle whole; the latter method is preferred when Sickel pears are used. Peel pears.

Put spices in a small cheese cloth bag and add to the vinegar and sugar and bring to a boil. Add pears and cook until tender.

The pears will look clear when tender. Remove them with a spoon and place them in sterilized jars.

Boil the syrup until it becomes thick, the pour it over pears and seal.
